I really need help now.. :(

[flusi737]

Hi,

I were able to restore all datas after a HDD crash, but every time i start trainz now i get the 'updating asset database' window. after 4h i have still 200000 of 220000 assets unchecked!!! I don't have the time to run this :''( I only have 4h every day per weekend on my PC, its a restriction from my parents. Its even a wonder that i were able to try this sh!t in the last three days, but it takes too long I really need a way to skip this, or do i have to leave trainz completely???

Question to N3V: Is that what you call customer friendly, hm??!!

Have you tried a command-line database repair?

Shane

 

[flusi737]

How? :'( never heard of that

All the details are on my tutorial website. Have a look in the thread in my signature for a link to the relevant tutorial.

If you get stuck, let me know, and I will do my best to advise.

I type in the correct path and it does nothing says path not found:



awwww

PS: I know its german, but 'Befehl nicht gefunden = command not found'

 

[shaneturner12]

OK - I see the problem. You need to enter the full path to trainzutil.exe (using " at the start and end if there's spaces) then add repairdatabase at the end. TrainzUtil.exe is in <trainz install folder>/Bin.

Shane

 

[flusi737]

system cannot find the entered path. I tried it two times.

 

[shaneturner12]

I need to double-check what path you are entering. It needs to be the full path to the folder where you installed Trainz to.

Shane

 

[flusi737]

"C:\Programme(x86)\N3V Games\Trainz Simulator 12\bin\TrainzUtil.exe" repairdatabase

 

[shaneturner12]

Try adding a space between Programme and (x86).

Shane

 

[flusi737]

already tried that. No result...here's the path:

 

[shaneturner12]

That's interesting. The Properties box says it's in Program Files (x86), so try replacing Programme (x86) with Program Files (x86) and see if that helps. If not, I do have other ideas.

Shane

 

[flusi737]

ARGH Windows is so silly -.- I had to enter 'Program Files', not programme (x86), even if explorer showed me last one It works now

 

[flusi737]

Thanks for your help....but idk if it will be faster now :/ I need to try it tomorrow, have to go to bed now

 

[shaneturner12]

That's Windows for you. Be aware that the command-line repair will take a short while whilst TrainzUtil and TADDaemon do their work, but it should prevent it needing to do one next time you launch Trainz.

Shane

No problem - hopefully my advice will help you fix the issue, as I don't want to lose my reputation for helping out people with technical issues...

Since you're on the topic, Shane, is a "TrainzUtil repairdatabase" the equivalent of a "Quick Database Repair" in Content Manager? It seems to take about the same time as one, but not as long as an "Extended Database Repair".

Andrew

 

[shaneturner12]

I believe so, although on mine it appears to do an EDR.

Shane

OK, Thanks. I actually like the "TrainzUtil repairdatabase" better as it doesn't seem to have to log in to PlanetAuran like CMP always does.

 

[shaneturner12]

I normally use it when CM fails to work properly or in cases like the OPs.
